SeaSick Steve- Blues dude rocking on a 3 stringed electric guitar. go see him live, he kicks ass.MC5- just because they kick out the jams, and we all like a good jam kicking.King Creasote- beautiful voice, great songwriting. love it.

Agree with Chris the Kanye is pretty cool, not as cool as Mos Def but almost.

I thinkyou might be uncool, as you think your cool because you know the son who might be uncool of a cool man. The cool rules are confusing, and because I find them confusing, it makes me uncool, but finding myself uncool makes me cool,possibly.

Captain Beefhart is amazing. Safe as Milk is one of my all time favourite albums. Trout Mask Replica freaks me out..in a good way, but sometimes in a bad way...I have to be in the right mood for it.

Seasick Steve is playing Glasgow and is officially uncool because he now lives in Norwich which cancels on his hobo credentials.

I will post up my new finds by way of a mixtape that I will post up details and make available to anyone who is interested.

In the meantime, my latest and ace-est findhttp://speechification.com/an extraordinary, heavily archived resource of downloadable radio documentaries usually aired out on the BBC but also occasionals from the likes of Resonance FM etc.Anyway it's a massive treatso far I've listened toThe Art Of The Mixtape by Dave QuantickA Musical Map To Sheffield by Jarvis CockerGlitch by Paul MorelyFungi: The Fifth Kingdomand a rather bizarre thing by Malcolm McLaren about being locked in a computer game.All of them, most pleasurable besides Malcy but I will forgive him anything.It also has a sister sitehttp://watchification.com/but they seem to struggle with archiving with a lot of the links deadStillstuff it up the hole in your culture

Magic Lanternhttp://www.myspace.com/magiclanternmakoi never really got a grasp of what stoner rock actually wasgenre wisebut this is what it should be to mei really shouldn't like thisthese people are jamming.despicable business.right now they would be first up against the wall of sounda true-trip.

The Lofty Heights. Homeboi just walked up on stage after the last open mic night and suddenly jaws started dropping. Seriously. It was disgusting. Got a CD, but it's not nearly as good as the live performance.

have bought every album by these welsh upstarts on the day, if not week of release. am always filled with joy by their music. the new record contains the lyrics "where d'you wanna go, 'cause we can go anywhere. how d'you wanna go, 'cause we can go anyhow. who d'you wanna bring 'cause we can bring everyone." im averaging 3 listens a day...top album. great band. SFA ok!

Lots of stuff by UNKLE as I've only just really discovered them. I was aware of them and loved their Rabbit in the Headlights video but just didn't listen to them. They are great.Also lots of:Amon TobinAphex TwinSquarepusherKLF-Chill OutDJ Foodand I'm loving the new stuff by M83.

And- In Rainbows by Radiohead. I got this a while ago, listened to it, loved it, forgot about it. Started listening to it again a couple of months ago and now I can play the whole album every couple of days and still not get bored of it and still admire it. It's one of those albums that each time you listen to it you discover something new. I believe this is their best album ever!

IDM Forums compilation 001 -003Amazing collection of tunes that they have collected from artists using their electronica forums. Completely free to download from http://www.idmforums.com/showthread.php?t=20689 ...it really is good, especially compilation 001.

Christ.'s new live album is gooooooood!The Cat Empire-The Cate EmpireEels-Beautiful Freak

I am really enjoying the most recent Little Birdy cd. I am surprised that I am finding it so good for some reason,but I really am.

Also really getting into white noise meditation- using specific frequencies to achieve deeper relaxation. A guy, George Baker, a US composer has developed lots of these. "The pink noise binaural beat brainwave carrier used in these recordings is a scientifically proven way to achieve meditative states without the years of practice and discipline traditionally required..."

And I can't do without Unison Sinewave mediation, by illume in essence www.unison-therapy.com, but I will have to as I have played it so many times it is now getting stuck - but even that sounds great:Alpha frequencies,theta & delta - I am swept away...

I've varied my diet of classic rock, with a quirky Swiss duo called Stereo Total. I visited a friend last week, and he turned me on to them. Their recent album, Paris Berlin, is mainly about sex, but I think most of their work is. The song, Revolution Baby, has some great lines, like 'Masturbation is counter-revolutionary, heterosexuality is the opium of the masses, put your Marxism where your mouth is'.

to my shame and for reasons ahead of my fathoma fair bit of Oi!choice numbers amongCock Sparrer - Where Are They Now?(quaint references to Julie Burchill, Tony Parsons, Jimmy Pursey)Cockney Rejects - Where The Hell Is Babylon?Notch-hole tunes the two of them though ahead said Gary Bushell can still eat dick.On a hipper tipDuchess SaysGlitch-enriched lady rant. Teriffic.

Following some links from BoingBoing, I found an album of awesome 70s funk from Benin, West Africa. The group, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, dish up haunting wahwahs, demented keyboards, frantic percussion and beautiful singing. Time to brush up on my Yoruba.
